Madison WI is ten below.
Here it’s only 47 degrees. We
shouldn’t complain, but the brand new heater that’s spoiled us so wonderfully
since it’s installation is blowing cold, air-conditioned, air out into the
rooms for the second time. We are not
impressed. Spoiled, that’s us.
After a weekend of cleaning up after the holiday, the
neighbor girl, and running errands, George grew cranky and I grew
stubborn. Like two children, we
were.
Mid-morning on Sunday we received a text telling us to come
get the meeting BBQ. Our Friday night meeting
has one BBQ a month after the meeting during the summer. This was an errand we were both grateful to
run. Each AA meeting is run by
volunteers in the various positions such as secretary, or treasurer. George has been a treasurer for the last two
years. He moved into the job of BBQ
Master. But we couldn’t get the
BBQ. The guy in charge had gone out
first on drugs then on alcohol. He didn’t
return G’s calls.
"Pick it up at my Ex-girlfriends house at noon," the message
told us a week after we began the search.
We were a little early, but we found it safe and sound in her back yard
under a blue tarp. He could have sold
it. He could have hocked it. We were very grateful he didn’t.

The garage door will be apallingly expensive....a second time. I've suggested that we install a security camera.

The repairman came and fixed the heater a third time. The time delay switch on the external condenser had been miss-set. At least this one is under warranty.

Hopefully the guy will get back on the wagon soon.
ReplyDeleteWistful about your 47°. It will be 3° by this evening. Arctic by our standards.
Love your header and that spot of beach!!! Recognized it right away.
He could have traded it for drugs but then tweekers wouldn't have a use for a bbq because they don't eat.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got the BBQ. Little colder than usual here in WA too, getting used to wearing my long johns most of the time. Grateful I don't live back east.
ReplyDeleteI shouldn't laugh, but this sounds so familiar. Good to know we can share. Dianne
ReplyDeleteI think it bodes very well that you recognize your weaknesses and bad traits. We all slide back, but knowing that we do is the clue. Hoping you both will be in better moods...maybe I should send you a photo of our rain/sleet/snow/sleet/rain day today.
ReplyDeleteAny coverage under your homeowner's ins. for damage by unknown vehicle? Check to see because the ded. would probably be much less than the total cost to you.
ReplyDeleteTerri,....the problem is that this is Southern California. If we use the homeowners insurance, they will raise the costs. Fer sure...as G says.
ReplyDeleteDavid has been watching NFL football non-stop, it seems. I have learned to enjoy sports via osmosis. Lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm really liking the idea of that security camera!

ReplyDeleteOh dear! I do hope that your heater doesn't act up again. It's good that it's finally under warranty. At least if it starts to act up once more, the repair would be fully covered. You must've been quite annoyed if it's been happening for three times now. If it happens a fourth time, hopefully, they'll decide to change the unit.
